Why is it important to have good confidence in our ability to learn?
When you dont have a good confidence in your learning ability, you will approach learning situations and exams in a state of nervousness and anxiety. A lack of confidence in your learning ability will actually interfere with you ability to study effectively, and it will interfere with your ability to remember what you have learned.
Being completely confident and happy about your learning ability will lessen your anxiety. Confidence in yourself will improve your learning perfomance and improve your memory of what you have studied.
How can you tell whether or not you lack confidence in yourself as a learner?
If you lack confidence about your learning ability, you probably already know it because you become very tense and nervous about facing exams.
When you are in a learning situation, pay attention to the sorts of thoughts that frequently go through your mind. What messages are you telling yourself? Spend several days becoming aware of the way you talk to yourself internally. Write down the thoughts that pass through your mind so that you can review them.
Are your statements about yourself mostly positive or mostly negative? Do your thoughts reflect confidence in your own abilities? Or are you constantly yelling at yourself for your mistakes and shortcomings? Are you calling yourself stupid, lazy, or unsuccessful?
Budgeting to Improve your HomeHome improvement projects often scare people off, since many
believe that it will cost thousands of dollars to remodel one
room, since they lack the skills to do the job them self. They

Take some time to watch very young children learn. During the first few years of life, humans learn a huge amount of information at a much quicker rate than they will ever learn again. When very young children learn, they do so in an attitude of joy and exploration. They dont criticize themselves for being bad learners.
Even as adults, we do our best learning in an atmosphere of fun and exploration. We learn better when we think learning is fun. We dont learn as well when we tell ourselves that we are stupid.
If your negative opinion of yourself is holding you back, how do you go about changing it? Two very effective techniques that can help you change your self-image are affirmations and visualization.
